a smokeshow... at first sniff this seemed okay, 30 minute later and the espresso juts smacked. This is young, but damn was this in balance. cool blue fruits, an Asian 5 spice and silky ass tannin, yes needed the "ass". I tell new comers to Bordeaux but Lynch Bages every vintage as they are classic, great Bordeaux. 5th growth is BS, Lynch year in and year out is great and '98 was on fire

Rustic, tannic and tough, with a firm, classic bent toward cassis, tobacco and earthiness.

Tasted in Switzerland. Dark color, medium intensity and evolved. Discreet nose, marked by notes of reduction and meat. Pleasant mouth, fruity, but light. Its evolution seems to have been very rapid. Or it's the bottle.

Nose of quite bright, sweet, focused black fruit. Theres an underpinning by creamy oak and a little bit of game and pencil-shavings. The palate is very tight and focused with glossy layers of black fruit and a little vegetal, animal note of interest. Fine tannins and length.

Big and beefy and still very young and even quite raw. Still quite chewy. By no means the most delicious wine here even if it is the most recognisable and valuable! A bit jagged in terms of acidity.

Château Château Lynch Bages
Château Lynch Bages
Château Lynch Bages

Château Lynch-Bages is one of the great names of the Pauillac appellation, classified as a Fifth Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Located on the historic plateau of Bages, in the heart of the Médoc, this wine has embodied for several generations the controlled power and qualitative consistency that make the reputation of great Bordeaux wines.

The history of Château Lynch-Bages begins in the 18th century with the Lynch family, of Irish origin, before the property was acquired in the 20th century by the Cazes family. Since the acquisition by Jean-Charles Cazes in 1939, then under the impetus of Jean-Michel Cazes and today Jean-Charles Cazes, the estate has continuously strengthened its identity and international reputation. This family continuity is a central element of Château Lynch-Bages' uniqueness.

The vineyard sits on deep Garonne gravel, ideally drained, an emblematic terroir of Pauillac, particularly favorable to Cabernet Sauvignon, the predominant grape variety in the blend. It gives birth to structured, refined wines built for aging, combining aromatic intensity, tannic precision and finesse.

Vintages such as Château Lynch-Bages 1982, Château Lynch-Bages 1995, Château Lynch-Bages 2000, Château Lynch-Bages 1989, Château Lynch-Bages 2009 or Château Lynch-Bages 2010 illustrate the remarkable consistency of the estate and its essential status among the collectible wines of Pauillac.
